Imagine human beings farmed for food by an alien civilisation that has "debates" on whether it's ethical or not to eat homo-sapiens.

They have centuries and centuries to settle the question while rearing and killing billions of human beings each year.

N.B. The price of baby meat is higher because it's more tender or whatever.

Why did you lose trust in Mozilla? What other browser would you recommend instead?

I don't think that people "far removed from tech" are "sub-90 IQ" (a "delicate" euphemism for "stupid").

And I don't think that people on facebook, youtube or tick tock are "sub-90 IQ".

Thanks for making clear that it's what was implied by the original commenter.

That's lack of empathy coupled with sheer, crass ignorance.

For me, the first task would be to make absolutely sure that I block any apps designed by you. Such lack of empathy in your wording proves that you cannot possibly be a decent, half-decent, or even mediocre UI designer.

Allow me to doubt that mathematics departments are immune to status competition.

We often confuse Free and Open Source with "free beer". We have been using pfsense for years without paying a dime; if we could we would gladly have done it. It's simple fairness.

Could you point to this evidence? And how do you know that that is what kept him from returning to his country?
Purely anecdotal, but I choose not to read the literature on the ethics of animal exploitation because I was still eating meat. But I decided to take the plunge, and now I cannot go back to eating meat.
